Content Cornucopia

Posted by kenhoward on December 21, 2007

Yes, the Internet has a lot of high value content. Unfortunately it also has a lot of crud you have to weed through to find the good stuff. Wikipedia can’t be the only place to find quality commercial free content. I found it: www.archive.org.

For text, it contains the complete Gutenberg collection (classic novels, literature, non-fiction, etc.) There are a multitude of audio recordings for free download (old time radio shows, broadcasts, and music) , classic videos (old newsreels and some youtubeish stuff) , computer software, and more.

Oh, and for additional fun, check out the wayback machine on the same site. Remember what was on your company’s website 10 years ago? Key in a URL of any website and you can pull up an archive of what that website looked like on previous dates.
